Islamophilia, Not Islamophobia, is the Problem
The uncritical, uninformed, absolute defense of Islam has to end.

Editors' note: The following is artist Bosch Fawstin's introduction to his new book on Islamophiles, which he has titled Islam Bitches, "as they deserve no respect and full mockery for aiding and abetting an enemy ideology in wartime."

We’re often told, by Muslims and by non-Muslims with a severe case of Islamophilia, that “Islamophobia†is the problem, post-9/11. “Islamophobia.†What a word. Its World War Two equivalent would have been Naziphobia. The best quote I’ve read on “Islamophobiaâ€, and often misattributed to Christopher Hitchens, is from Andrew Cummins, who wrote, “Islamophobia. A word created by fascists, and used by cowards, to manipulate morons.â€
To claim that there is some kind of inherent “irrational fear†of Islam within us, independent of what Islam is and what Muslims do, is irrational. To push this myth of “Islamophobiaâ€, one would need to ignore the unignorable and devastating fact that 230,000+ human beings have been murdered in the name of Islam since 9/11/01, that 10,000+ were murdered in 2019, and that 5,271 human beings have been murdered in 2020 so far, with no slowdown during the coronavirus pandemic. (see TheReligionOfPeace.com) It’s callous and evil to continue to peddle the lie of “Islamophobia†as Islam, through its most devout followers, continues its carnage across the world. It’s the global defense of Islam, the praise of this violent religion as the very meaning of “peace†that’s the problem, not the well-earned criticism coming its way that’s made out to be “hatefulâ€, when there’s No hate like Islamic hate.
